Camila is definitely in control.  Read her People Magazine interview below:

 

PM: “Congratulations on the new album!  Sonically, Camila is much different from your first solo single “Crying in the Club.”  How did your sound evolve?

CC: “I think that everything’s just about timing, and “Crying in the Club” – it was super early. It came along really, really early, and I had not been in the studio for a long time. I think when I had enough of those, it kind of felt like pieces in a puzzle, and some of the pieces were just not in the same puzzle. I think it was just about finding exactly what my sound was for this first album.”

 

PM: So what was your breakthrough moment in the studio?

CC: “It’s just being in the studio long enough and having enough experiences worth writing about. I think “Havana” was the breakthrough moment – and everything else sort of just happened.”

PM: This was the first time you recorded an album on your own. Was that liberating?

CC:  “She loves control! [Laughs] (Editor’s Note: “She Loves Control” is the title of the third track on her album.) Uh, yeah, it was completely different. I’d spent almost a year making this album, and I really didn’t stop until I felt like I was ready to close this chapter. I was like, “If I’m gonna do this my way, I’m gonna do it my way.””

 

PM: It’s been a crazy year for you. You left Fifth Harmony in December 2016. Is there anything you regret about how things ended with the group?

CC: “I don’t know, I don’t really think about that. That’s a long time ago.”

PM: You’re 20 years old, and you’ve already accomplished so much.  You grew up in the spotlight and on TV – looking back on that as an adult, does it feel weird?

CC: “A little bit.  I go home to Miami and hang out with people I’ve known since elementary school.  My experiences are so different now.  I have some FOMO.  But I would never trade it for anything. 

 

PM: You got your start on X-Factor, and Demi Lovato was one of the judges.  Now you’re performing on the same stages as her; you’re a peer.  What does that mean to you?

CC: “There’s definitely a lot of those pinch-me moments, which are super cool.  People that I grew up with that made me want to pick up a guitar and start writing songs – they’re people that I have friendships with.  It’s amazing and weird and surreal and crazy.”
